Large Vegetative Debris Pick-Up Continues; Bagged Debris Pickup Complete

UPDATES AS OF JULY 29:

  • All residential bagged green waste pickup has been completed by AmeriWaste ahead of schedule
  • The bagged green waste drop-off site at Hometown Heroes Park is no longer open as of July 29

Debris Cleanup Info

Since Friday, July 19, our debris removal contractor-Crowder Gulf-and the City's Public Works crews have been picking up unbagged large vegetative debris on both the east and west sides of town. Crews will continue working for several weeks to complete this effort, due to the large amount of storm debris. Stay tuned to our Facebook page for updates about what areas they will be in. Removal of fencing and construction debris will occur AFTER all vegetative debris has been removed.

If you have not already done so

  • Move all vegetative debris you would like removed from your property within 10 feet of the curb in front of your home. It does not need to be bundled or cut into small pieces. The larger the better.
  • Keep vegetative debris separate from fencing/construction debris.
  • Do not place any debris in front of your mailbox or near a fire hydrant. This makes it difficult for the truck to remove and is a safety hazard.
  • Cars should be parked in driveways or garages and not in the street. Cars in the street make it difficult for trucks to pick up debris.
  • Leaves and small branches should be placed in bags and separated from large vegetative and fencing/construction debris. Scroll down for more details on how to separate your debris

Bagged Green Waste

AmeriWaste has completed all bagged debris pickup ahead of schedule, therefore the previously scheduled August 4 date will not be needed. All curbside waste pickup will return to normal processes beginning Monday, July 29.

Bagged Green Waste Drop-Off at Hometown Heroes Park

The bagged green waste drop-off site is no longer active as of Monday, July 29due to lack of need.

Debris Separation Guidelines

Do NOT place storm debris in the middle of the street, in stormwater drains, inlets, or ditches. Keep a 10-foot radius clearance from fire hydrants to ensure fire protection for your neighborhood. Please move your vehicle(s) off the street and into your driveway to ensure trucks can safely maneuver. No bagged food or household hazardous waste can be included with your debris.

Place your storm debris in three separate piles at your curb:

  1. Large, unbagged vegetative debris (trees, tree limbs, etc.). Bundle small branches when possible. Large tree limbs do NOT need to be bundled.
  2. Fencing/construction debris.
  3. Bagged green waste (leaves, small branches, etc.).

Household Trash

To keep the debris pickup process efficient, please separate your trash bins/bags and recycling bins away from any vegetative or storm debris. Garbage cans, bags, and recycling bins should be placed on the curb during your regularly scheduled AmeriWaste collection day.
